About this product
This is the one most people picture when they hear the name. A single panel with two arcade joysticks side by side, the Pandora Platinum Pro mainboard inside, and an HDMI cable to your TV. Two players, one box, no setup drama.
We designed it as arcade owners for home use. The joysticks and buttons are real arcade parts, not the mushy membrane buttons you find on cheap plug-and-play sticks, and the Pro board was built to run four decades of games well rather than thirty thousand games badly.
What is not in the box: games. The console ships with no pre-installed software at all. Your games come on the GameCraZE archive cards you choose below, and if you skip them the builder warns you in plain words: "No Game Card - YOU WONT HAVE ANY GAMES!" We would rather you hear that from us now.
That list keeps growing. We test games on the hardware before they go on a card, which is why the cards are sorted by what you like to play instead of dumped into one giant menu.
On this page you can keep the Pandora Single Panel or switch to the Pandora Dual Panel for two separate controllers. The Dual Panel has its own page if you want the details.
Sanwa makes the joysticks and buttons you find in Japanese arcade cabinets. They are lighter, quicker and more precise, and once your hands know them it is hard to go back. Your choices:
Slot one is where your first card goes. Slots two and three are optional. Fighting Masters, Neo Geo, Retro Arcade, Mortal Kombat Life, 3D Fighting, Run & Gun, Mario Kart Madness & Friends and 3 and 4 Player are all offered. Click for Game List on any card to read every title before you commit. Cards swap in and out from the back of the console, and you can buy as many as you like.
Plug the HDMI cable into your TV, plug in power, and you are playing. VGA monitors work too. Super HD upscaling keeps old sprites sharp on a big screen, and the menu lets you flip from 16:9 to the 4:3 arcade frame. Save states hold your progress and high scores. There is no Wi-Fi, so nothing updates itself overnight and nothing disappears from your library.
Every console carries our Lifetime Mainboard Warranty, which covers the mainboard and power supply powering on, the main case chassis and the attachment cords and HDMI cable. Joystick assemblies, tops, controller pads and sticks get a limited 90 day warranty, and they are sold part by part when they wear out. Archive cards, user error and your own hardware or software modifications are not covered. Questions go to US SUPPORT in Las Vegas at 1-702-827-7701.

Imitators copy the look. They can’t copy the board, the curated game archives, the Lifetime Mainboard Warranty or real US SUPPORT. Every Pandora Game Console ships with genuine arcade-grade parts.
